DNS propagation checker

What 18 resolvers around the world answer right now, and whether they agree.

What this check does

After a DNS change, caches around the world expire at different times. This check asks a panel of public resolvers for the record and compares them with each other and with your authoritative nameserver.

  • 18 public resolvers queried in parallel (8 for visitors)
  • Agreement count and the majority answer
  • The authoritative answer for comparison
  • Per-resolver TTL and response time
  • Any record type: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CAA, SRV, PTR

Questions

How long does propagation take?
Until the old TTL expires on each cache: if the old record had a 3,600-second TTL, up to an hour after the change. Lower the TTL a day before a planned change to shorten it.
